[solved] add CSS/JS to HEAD inside a module

[alumi]

Hi,

 

This is my first post in this forum

 

I have been working with Prestashop a lot, and it was a good experience. Thanks for giving it for free

 

When I develop a module, I found something inconvenient.

 

In a module, I only use hookHome (to output things to homepage) and hookHeader (to include needed CSS/JS).

 

But in this way, the CSS/JS files are included in every page. This is not optimized. I surely can include CSS/JS files in the hookHome, but you know, it is not standard.

 

I doubt that Prestashop might have a way to work around with this. Do you have any suggestion?

Hi alumi,

 

Perhaps by using hookHeader like this

public function hookHeader(){
 global $smarty
if ($smarty->page_name == 'index'){
   Tools::addCSS(($this->_path)._THEME_CSS_DIR_.'product_list.css', 'all');
}
}

But I have a problem to get page_name value in $smarty

[math_php]

An other solution, (a working one) would be to use

 

$fileName = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

 

Thanks for you question, it helped me to find a solution.

Yes, you can do it like this:

public function hookHeader(){
 global $smarty;
$page_name = $smarty->get_template_vars('page_name');
if ($page_name == 'index'){
Tools::addCSS(($this->_path)._THEME_CSS_DIR_.'product_list.css', 'all');
}
}

 

And thank you for pointing out the Smarty page_name variable XD !

get_template_vars seems to be deprecated.

 

I found getTemplateVars wich works fine.

 

What about a 'solved' ?

 

Cheers

Have you tried?

public function hookHeader(){

if (Tools::getValue('controller') == 'index'){

Tools::addCSS(($this->_path)._THEME_CSS_DIR_.'product_list.css', 'all');

}

}
